Essential work is underway after a watermain burst affecting water supply to approximately 50 houses in the Treankeel area, Kiltimagh.

The repairs will be carried out as quickly and as safely as possible and in line with COVID-19 protocols.

Ger Greally, Irish Water, explained: "Irish Water is working with Mayo County Council to carry out emergency repairs to a second burst in the Kiltimagh area.


"We would like to thank the customers affected by yesterday’s burst for their patience and cooperation while those repairs were taking place. All customers should have a full supply returned from this morning.

"People living in the Treankeel area are asked to conserve water where possible and to only use what they need whilst continuing to adhere to public health advice on hand washing and hygiene regarding COVID-19 while the repairs are underway. Simple water conservation efforts can have a big impact, such as taking showers over baths and fixing dripping taps where it is possible to do so.
